just installed the new gen radio. had some questions.
1. i put in the aux harness but nothing comes up on the screen. or do i have to have something connected to it before the aux options appears.

2. the new gen radio does not have a place to connect the antenna?

3. my DVD player has RCA connectors, there should be a convertor plug from 8mm on the Aux plug to go to my DVD RCA audio?

4. i have no CDC...

also might be just me that i have the gen radio but the sound of the radio seams to be lots better...
